PicoSure® Pro is a laser device that is commonly used for the treatment of skin pigmentation. It uses a unique picosecond laser technology, which delivers energy to the skin in ultra-short pulses of trillionths of a second.
The PicoSure® Pro laser is specifically designed to target melasma and pigmented lesions, such as brown spots, sun damage, age spots, freckles, and even tattoo ink. The laser's high-intensity energy breaks down the pigment into smaller particles, which the body's immune system then removes naturally.
Compared to traditional laser technologies, PicoSure® Pro delivers faster and more effective results, with fewer treatment sessions needed. It is also relatively painless and has minimal downtime, making it a popular choice among patients.
However, as with any medical procedure, it is important to consult with our skincare specialists to determine if treatment with PicoSure® Pro is right for you.
Melasma is a common skin condition that causes brown or gray patches to appear on the face, particularly on the cheeks, forehead, nose, and upper lip. It is typically caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, and genetic predisposition.
PicoSure® Pro laser is one of the effective treatments for melasma. It works by targeting the excess pigmentation in the skin, which causes the discoloration associated with melasma. The laser's ultra-short pulses of energy break down the pigment particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body's immune system.
PicoSure® Pro laser treatment for melasma is typically performed in a series of sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. The number of sessions required depends on the severity of the melasma, as well as other factors such as skin type and age. Patients may experience some redness or mild swelling after the treatment, but this usually resolves within a few days. It is also important to take steps to protect your skin from sun exposure and to maintain a good skincare routine to help prevent further pigmentation issues.
